If you choose a message type that is more than one byte long the 1st Data Byte ( and possibly the 2nd
Data Byte) editor appears. You can set the data byte’s value by typing or using the up/down arrows. The
editor accepts values from 0 through 127.
Instead of setting an absolute value for a data byte, you can check the Follows Control’s Value box. In
this case, the value of that data byte is determined by the state of the MCS5 hardware control this
message is assigned to. In other words, if you assigned a Custom MIDI Message to the Jog Wheel and
the 2nd data byte was set to Follows Control’s Value, a number representing the position of the Jog
Wheel would be inserted as the 2nd data byte of the custom message. For MCS5 buttons, a value of 127
will be inserted for button presses, and 0 for button releases.
Following are some samples of the MIDI Tab’s appearance for various message types.
For convenience, choosing Set all Controls to Native MIDI in the Actions menu will assign Emulation
Actions to all of the MCS5 controls on all banks in the current keyset.
